European light switch group buy - Page 2

perdave19 · 12-17-2007

Anyone have an opinion if getting the euro switch (ability to turn off) will help with restarting car when the battery dies again? It did this morning again, and I feel like the xenons drain so much that maybe if they weren't on...i could have enough juice to crank. Any thoughts on how this might play out?

thanks

You can just turn the coming home lights off in the convenience setup on the MFI, leave the stock headlight switch in the far left (off) position, and put the parking brake on. This should keep the headlights and DRLs from coming on.

In any event, you really should find out what is up with your battery. As long as all the electrical wiring is up-to-date (ie. alternator/starter harness is good, ground strap is good) you probably just need a new battery.

Good luck,
Matt
